Taylor and Maclaurin Series
1
Taylor and Maclaurin Series
If we represent some function f(x) as a power series in (x-a), then
2
Uniqueness Theorem
Suppose
for every x in some interval around a.
Then
.
3
Taylor's Formula with Remainder
Let f(x) be a function such that f(n+1)(x) exists for all x on an open interval
containing a.
Then, for every x in the interval,
where Rn(x) is the remainder (or error).
Taylor's Theorem
Let f be a function with all derivatives in (a-r,a+r).
The Taylor Series
represents f(x) on (a-r,a+r)
if and only if
.

EX 1 Find the Maclaurin series for f(x)=cos x and prove it represents
cos x for all x.
5
EX 2 Find the Maclaurin series for f(x) = sin x.
6
EX 3 Write the Taylor series for
centered at a=1.
7
EX 4
Find the Taylor series for f(x) = sin x in (x-π/4).

for
